The French daily Le Parisien evaluated the rankings of performances by globally renowned singers that took place in France this summer. The media labeled K-pop group BLACKPINK's encore performance in July as the worst performance.

On the 3rd (local time), according to K-pop news sites such as 'KBIZOOM,' Le Parisien reported on the rankings of performances by famous singers held from May to the end of last month at the Stade De France and Paris La Défense Arena.

Le Parisien mentioned before revealing the rankings, "This is a completely subjective ranking, so some may be pleased, while others may be disappointed."

BLACKPINK held their 'BORN PINK' World Tour Encore Concert at the Stade De France Stadium on July 15th. The concert had an audience of 55,000 people.

Le Parisien commented about the concert, saying, "Just because there was a full stadium of spectators doesn't mean the performance matched that level." They also noted, "The choreography was too textbook, and there was a lack of communication among the members, with many instances of passing each other by on stage."

The media also pointed out drawbacks such as unstable video footage capturing the members, too many intermissions disrupting the flow of the performance.

They also pointed out the fact that Jennie left the stage for a few minutes towards the end of the performance. They mentioned, "Jennie left the stage, saying only 'I'll be back,' and returned three minutes later wearing white pants instead of black ones," and concluded, "It was a performance that did not live up to the popularity of young Koreans."

Additionally, Le Parisien rated the concert of Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd, held in July, as the best performance. The media praised it, saying, "In every aspect, from stage setup to vocals, it was flawless and a bold performance."
